Proverbs 16:13-15

New International Version - UK

¹³ Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
    they value the one who speaks what is right.

¹⁴ A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    but the wise will appease it.

¹⁵ When a king’s face brightens, it means life;
    his favour is like a rain cloud in spring.
